| Andy Zukowski posted Southwestern Coal Corporation tipple, Steeleville, Illinois. Black-and-white postcard on EKC (Eastman Kodak Company) paper, stamp box datable circa 1930-1950. Myron Dudenbostel: The photo has the wrong town listed. This tipple had a Percy, Illinois address. It was located just outside the southwest corner of Percy. It was served by the GM&O from the east and the MP from the west. Nicholas S Koba Jr.: was this to old Streamline Mine Tipple? |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Myron's comment Thanks for the correction that it was at Percy instead of Steeleville. |
 |
| Dennis DeBruler commented on Nicholas S Koba Jr.'s comment It was the Streamline Mine. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Andy's post Note that it produced between 1936-83 and that they mined both the Herron and Springfield seams. Also, section 36 was probably in township 5S 5W instead of 6S 5W as indicated by the other Illinois document. |
 |
| Dennis DeBruler commented on Andy's post It is strange that they marked the tipples for a bunch of smaller mines, but not for Index 782. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Andy's post But Myron's comment and these topo maps showed me where to look. 1965 Steeleville and Percy Quads @ 24,000 |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Andy's post This 1940 aerial photos allowed me to determine that the loadout was here: https://www.google.com/maps/@38.0097181,-89.6293015,1042m/data=!3m1!1e3 |
